Draw real things the way a workshop makes them, board by board, right here in your browser. Free, with nothing to download and no account.
Never used 3D before?
Five little games that teach the mouse. Do each one as many times as you like: no timer, no score.
On a laptop or a tablet? Every game works with a trackpad or a finger too.
The same three steps, every lesson.
Each step is acted out first: the tool lights up, the pointer drags, the size is typed into the Measurements box, the board appears.
The tools work the way they do in SketchUp: Rectangle, Push/Pull, Move, the arrow keys that lock an axis. Each step ticks itself once your model has it.
Check my work measures every board to the millimetre and tells you which one is wrong and why: too long, too far left, turned the wrong way.
Each one builds one real thing from start to finish.

Draw a real bird box from one plank 150 mm wide: the floor and the back, sides cut to a slope, a front with a hole 25 mm across, and a roof tipped down 15°. Then make it for real.
For children from about 10, and anyone new to 3D. Nothing to download, no account.

First build
Six boards from one plank, one step at a time, then a cut list to make it for real.
Being drawn now
Alcove shelves on battens: measuring wall to wall, spans, and why 18 mm board needs support every 800 mm.
Being drawn now
Base units, a worktop and fillers to the walls: the sizes kitchen fitters work to.
